"Sweet Home Alabama" by Jewel ?

[hblair]

What's up with that?
I heard it for the first time today and almost lost my groceries. Hearing her sing about "the gov'nuh, Neil Young, watergate, etc. was just too much

Bleeyuk! Why do they always wanna bugger up a classic? Skynyrd was one of a kind. Granted, they're overplayed now, but there aren't many bands like that. Too bad all the backbiting that's happened since '77. Oh well.

Skynyrd was bad, that's why God made their plane crash.

I guy I knew from Bama said that Sweet Home was being considered as the state song, but it got tossed because of the part about "the guv-nuh". Know anything about that?

[hblair]

I think "My homes in Alabama" by Alabama. More family oriented I guess. I think the skynrd song gettin rejected was several years ago when George was still rolling around. If it came up for a vote now it'd prolly be passed and we'd be da coolest state in da union wid da skinird sowng! woot!

everybody does skynard covers and nobody should.  I cringe when I here a bar band fire up on 3-steps, or God forbid freebird.  most of skynard songs are so well known that you know them note for note and if they aren't played in their style it just sucks.  most of the time even if they do atempt to play it skynards style they miss just enough that it still sucks.

and freebird is the worst,  nothing like hearing a song played badly for 15 minutes.

  besides IMO freebird is overrated anyway. (or I may just hate the song 'cause I've heard it played at too many funerals. does everybody whose ever thrown their leg over a bike have that song played at their funeral?)

Well everything but freebird! lol I hate that song!!!


my fav is Ballad of Curtis lowe

Heh, she did that remake for the "Sweet Home Alabama" movie thats out now.

The movie producers probably took one look at Jewel's mug and figured that with scraggly tusks like those, she HAD to be from Alabama and so it was just a natural fit for her to do the song.

Mason, you can have Jewel.  I'll take Reese Witherspoon.

So you guys hate Freebird? Why? Is it just too well loved and oft played to be cool?

Freebird is a classic. Maybe you just don't play it loud enough.
